The Vektor CP1 has the same delayed blow-back as the P7, and the Vektor is legendary for needing that little port to be cleaned regularly. This applies to all ammo. However, I will say that in the beginning, when I knew very little about the CP1, I fired 100 all-lead bullets through that gun and I had no ill effects other than stoppages (which I understand now, must have been due to excessive fouling of that port in front of the chamber).
So there you have it. My advice to you, based on my experience with the Vektor, is to not use all lead in your P7, on the grounds of having an excessively-fouled port.
